Description
After the action art "Good Morning Beijing", the artist realized that some of his acquaintances (including Wang Jinsong, who had played an active role in the work) tempted him to make judgements on their work based on the hollow concept of "art", rather than to tell the correctness and the falseness of the action art itself. In order to defend his action and correct their false ideas, the artist proposed another public provocation in cooperation with Zhao Shaoruo, titled "Correct Action!". This action art took place in the Menghuan Video Theatre in Beijing's Dahua Cinema on July 6th, 1994. The artist emphasizes the important contribution that Z has made to preserve the correctness of "Correct Action!", and his optimistic attitude and unceasing will under heavy insult and a hefty fine. As the person who performs this action art, Zhao further receives the highest award of the URARC----the "Golden Ink Bottle" award of 1994, according to the artist.
